She had already taken control of Specimen Seven, ruining their previous plans.
And now she was trying to snatch Specimen Fourteen.
The Raven would never let this slide!
Both The Panacea and Joker were going to pay a heavy price for their arrogance!
Fueled by that thought, Commander Richter gritted his teeth against the searing agony of the silver needle piercing his hand. He bared his teeth in a sinister sneer, his voice thick with venom. "Did you really think destroying one external console would let you waltz away with Specimen Fourteen?"
His smile stretched into something twisted and ugly. "You're too incredibly naive!"
"Let me spell it out for you. The Raven has initiated the Omega Purge Protocol."
"The moment that clock hits zero, Specimen Fourteen's neural network will detonate from the inside out!"
"And you will be left with absolutely nothing."
Commander Richter glared maliciously at Serena's pale, hauntingly beautiful face. "You went to all this trouble to get here. You played all your little games. You even made enemies out of us. And for what? To die at the hands of the very prize you were too greedy to leave alone."
"Billions of dollars... You won't even live long enough to touch a single cent!"
"Tell me, Panacea. Are you choking on your own regret right now?"
Perhaps he had been humiliated one too many times today.
Commander Richter's only thought was to finally vent his pent-up fury.
Yet, despite him shouting himself hoarse...
Serena didn't so much as blink in his direction.
She kept her expression completely neutral, her gaze locked on the ticking countdown.
Her slender fingers danced lightly across the keypad.
The console remained unresponsive.
[52.]
[51.]
[50...]
The clock kept dropping.
